Bernie has been talking about these issues for decades. Is mainstream media just now understanding how popular these issues are to people or were they just playing dumb because these same corporations buy ad space on their networks and they didn’t want to slow down the gravy train?
Bernie who goes to communist Russia on his honeymoon and has never worked a day in his life has answers to our problems. He is the problem. Another worthless career politician who’s done nothing
Partly that and partly a hegemony of neo-classical/ trickle down economic theory. Which over time is slowly breaking. Although most big corps and the stock market still operate on it.
Once Bernie endorses that's evidence enough that that's dangerous for America and communism nocking the door. Patriots let's get the corrupt Washington political establishment out of the Whitehouse come this November.
Please don’t forget about us disabled folks. We are being completely left out of this. I’m glad they’re addressing these issues and I know they’re scared of being called communists but us disabled folks are most often doomed to poverty and homelessness. The medical changes will help, but it’s looking bad for most of us still.
@@Simeon_SaintI mean, like, imagine running the country into the ground further because u voted for the worst vice president, expecting her to all of the sudden get good at it. That would be a new more precise definition of stupid.
@I_wish_i_was_wrong so easy to forget that the prior administration ignored and disparage the threat of Covid, instead of getting ahead of the curve so that scarcities would not have resulted, thereby leading to the inflation in the first place. And don't forget the coddling to big business done by the prior administration, giving them and the oligarchs tax breaks.
affordable housing is not what you think it is just like the inflation reduction act that increased inflation rather than decreased it. "Affordable" is code for the middle man is going to get paid (the contractors building the housing and the Landlords who get subsidies. There's is nothing "affordable"' about it. We are going to be paying for subsidizing people who can work, but find it easier to get a government hand out.
BIDEN HARRIS CAUSED THE HOUSING PROBLEM AND NOW YOU BELIEVE SHE WILL SOLVED THE PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED. YOU MUST HAVE NO BRAIN ........THERE MUST BE AIR OR WATER IN IT'S PLACE..
I suspect that Harris Campaign has a few smart folk that KNOW that Senator Sanders' approach to so many issues resonates strongly with the active electorate that must be motivated to vote, and to bring all of their friends (Gen Z and Millennial) to vote a Blue Wave. Only then can we in the next election cycle vote our judgement of "did they deliver on their promises?". They aren't as stupid as the "It's her turn" crowd from 2016. Thank FSM!
Profit margins on groceries are RAZOR thin - there is no price gouging. It's the Biden-Harris administration excessive spending that has caused this mess and unfortunately she doesn't want to take any accountability. Actually her plan would make matters a lot worse because she would spend even more money (which is all borrowed and causes more debt, which we have to pay interest on), which would cause even more inflation (because increasing the money supply weakens the dollar and that is what causes inflation) Restricting free market enterprises would cause stores to a) go out of business + b) have food shortages. This plan is an unmitigated disaster and another step closer to communism.
@@tiktokexposed898That's the propaganda that greedy corporations put out to brainwash us into believing that inflation is "inevitable", nothing to do with corporate greed!🙄

Even in Australia we are experiencing increased prices on everything. It’s a global issue. Read world news the uninformed. Every country is going through inflation issues and governments are trying to bring them down.
In the US isn't higher across the board though, its higher on the common items yet the less purchased items have not changed much, that's not true inflation, its a manipulated profit under the guise of inflation.

You have to be moronic. Totally fooled by the deep states agenda to put you in a bad position, pull your heartstrings, and then convince you to rely on the government to control things like prices of food and housing…. This is a total disaster. Please please, open your eyes.
LOL😂! The fact that people actually believe a politician can save them is hilarious. Neither party gives a hoot about y'all! Things will progressively get worse no matter what. We're a declining empire.
The media thought Biden had a better chance at winning so definitely pushed his candidacy but in retrospect Biden is 100% correct in saying Jim Clyburn gave him the WH. After South Carolina just about everyone endorsed Biden including Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar (two of my 2020 favorites along with Kamala, Bernie and Biden). Momentum after South Carolina doomed Sanders...and everyone else.

watch the economist talk about Kamala's policy in detail on CNN and say that it was terrible and would raise prices, This was all on CNN!!! Type "cnn economist kamala price control" on youtube.

During most of the 20th century, around one-third of the world's population lived under Communist governments. These governments were characterized by one-party rule by a communist party, the rejection of private property and capitalism, state control of economic activity and mass media, restrictions on freedom of religion, and suppression of opposition and dissent.
A despicable issue with the housing shortage is that so many houses are owned by investors who leave them empty. They attract squatters and run down neighboring home values. 😠
Very interesting, I have never seen Senator Sanders agree so much with any other Democrat president or vice-president. Maybe with Obama back in the day. And maybe this is not the perfect plan, but it sure sounds like there are some really good ideas and possible solutions to real problems in here.
I wrote Bernie in on the ballot in 2016. I was really upset the DNC pulled him out and put Hillary in. In my heart I believe it was Bernie's anti Corp take over of our Gov that took him out . Would have really liked to see Bernie debating trump on stage . I think we could be having a different conversation if the DNC let the leading candidate run back in 2016.
@@phillipellison4758 then they did the same thing this time pulling Biden and plugging Harris, except Hillary actually got a lot of votes and Harris got zero last time or this time. I guess no one said defending democracy would be easy. We must trust the Party knows best.

Who cares if inflation is going down if prices are still at record highs? Inflation is simply the RATE OF PRICE INCREASES. But most of the price increases are due to predatory pricing that has resulted in record profits to most large corporations. Those prices need to come down! And, as an aside, Social Security COLA adjustments need to use the metric that applies best for retirees, not college kids and heads of households with kids.
Prices never come down unless there's a major depression or financial crisis. If I have to choose between that and a soft landing with 2.9% inflation I'm picking the soft landing.
@@FancyKerbloops Stop voting for wealthy people who tell you what you want to hear, and start electing moderate, sane, down to earth people from your communities. It's a very powerful solution.
And both of those parties have distinct wings which battle for control of the party making it little different than having 4 or 5 different parties. Its ok to say you dont understand politics.

You shouldn't base your life around serving a singular party. You should not that is in fact pretty ugly stuff, you should serve an idea, or the American people. If your cause is *The Party*, kinda reaks of socialist Russia.

We should also make it illegal for people to own more than one house, or for houses bigger than a certain square footage from being built so we can put more units in the same space. And since corporations and individuals won’t own anything to rent, the government will be free to build all the affordable housing it wants with no competition, and it will be really really nice because government housing is always nice.
@@BF-27I am sorry, if you said is the case, nobody wants to build house. Can you building house alone ? If not, if they can’t make profit, they are NOT going to build house. House price will be skyrocketing. Look at how expensive house is in China. Insane! Government should not intervene the free market.
My mom's next door neighbor in so Cal bought a 1 million dollar house coming from China; no English! Like what. Good for them but wut. everyday working people can't afford to live where they work.
are people THAT uninformed? 20% increase in price on every import. His first failed trade war still costs every person in your family $1000 per year. Not COULD spike inflation WOULD create depression
When prices of goods and services at source drop, supply chain players do not reduce the cost and pass the reductions on to consumers. This is the crux of the issue all over the world. She talked about dealing with this, 1st time a leader has recognized this and talked about stopping it.

Those tarrifs will be paid in increased prices, BY US. Meanwhile, all his big buddies are protected in THEIR profits, and he's collecting off the end game.
OR in the long term we decide we can make products for cheaper than we can buy them from other countries and America prospers in the long run…. Sounds better than the instant fix and long term destruction of socialism which Kamala is 100% suggesting. Grocery outlets profit margins are 1-3%, we will be without certain foods if she becomes president, mark my words.
@lenculpepper9150 any tarrif to an import, will necessarily increase the purchase price. It's truly obvious, just think for a minute. Btw..I used to live in a house in England, that had been owned by a Culpeper in the 1500s. But when cost of doing business goes up, so does the price. That's inarguable.
@@ShakesSphere But then guess what… crazy news!! Companies will pivot to a cheaper option… maybe like buying things made in the United States?!!!?!?!?!

We have to fix the mistake long term at the cost of short term consequences, thats literally how everything in life works. Common sense policy… jesus christ how blind do the media have you?
@chillsonf538 I'll have NO blind faith in Trump, who never kept a single promise in 4 years, other than to cage the children of immigrants, and separate families. He knows nothing of actual economics..he bankrupt everything, and lives off campaign funds.
For housing, about 40% of housing in America is owned by a few companies. Medical bills spiking is because hospitals stop serving the public and now serving investors. Food is the same thing as housing, companies only sell seeds to farmers for an outrageous price and only if they abide by their rules.
I see a lot of people here are woefully ignorant of economics, business, and profit margins. Inflation is essentially a federal tax. Let's solve the root cause of the problem and stop printing money (the direct cause of inflation) and drastically reduce government spending!
If we are smart we would simultaneously incentivise the new efficacious means of home construction, 3D Printed. It would be a W/W/W however that particular industry, also as providing, safe, low cost, energy efficient, durable, sustainable housing. While also providing some form of re-skilling / retraining. Available to the construction workers etc. whose particular skillset, has been displaced, resultant of the 3D printing technologies.
I saw a statistic the other day saying that 5% of single-family homes were owned by private equity (such as REITs) in 2022, but the percentage is forecast to balloon to a jaw-dropping 40% by 2030. That's beyond unacceptable, as it will prevent millions upon millions of people from ever owning their own home, not to mention locking in ever-increasing rental costs that will leave a huge chunk of the population homeless. Any candidate with any shred of progressive consciousness has to come up with ways to combat this. I'm glad it's on Kamala's radar, at least.
It sounds good to tax things coming in and then maybe this would bring more production in the Us. Sounds great, but that is not what will happen. They are not going to end their business else where. If they get taxed more, they will charge more for us. Business is not to profit us, but to profit themselves. Every year they have to see a profit larger than the year before (greed). Sen Bernie looks younger, he is a treasure, and I agree with the Sen.

By the time politicians realize there is a problem with food costs it is 6 months to a year before they say anything. Glad it is sticking now but WE NEED TO BE MORE VOCAL!
They said it was a problem when it first happened and Democrats tried to pass a no gas gouging bill. Gas is where it started and it spread to all the stores taking suit. Zero Republicans would sign it even though we only needed two out of 250 to choose from but we got zero.meaning that all this inflation caused from gouging is at the direct fault of Republicans in Congress as Democrats did try to do this then. As well, it would not pass again if Republicans refuse to sign unless Democrats have total control of government when they come in.
Bernie is not a socialist. He wants a society that works for the PEOPLE and not only for the Billionaires. USA had a universal healthcare before Nixon destroyed it. USA had a unified education system before Reagan destroyed it. Republicans reverses the plumbing every time when they are in power. They just push more 💩 on people and make their lives miserable.

I believe Bernie had some influence on this by withholding his endorsement until he saw some overdue progressive (aka people-helping) economic policy. Kamala is in crunch time and knocking it out of the park, and it is really great to see her rolling out her policies to help with food prices and our homelessness crisis. Looking forward to see what she adds next.
Tariffs to help inflation? What is the matter with his brain. Tariffs will send inflation through the roof. Manufacturing will pass on any cost increases on to consumers.
What I can say is that Herbert Hoover had the same exact plan after the collapse under Coolidge and the Terrifier idea was so bad that it actually took the crash economy and turned it into the great depression, which is why the depression is actually credited to Hoover and not to Coolidge. Coolidge created the problem, but Hoover made it worse with tariffs.
